File Conveyor is a daemon written in Python to detect, process and sync files. In particular, it's designed to sync files to CDNs. Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud Files, as well as any Origin Pull or (S)FTP Push CDN, are supported. Originally written for my bachelor thesis at Hasselt University in Belgium.
When I try to start the arbitrator process, an exception is raised, causing the process to terminate:

I have a trivial configuration file which contains one source, no filters, no processors, and one sftp destination.
The server portion of my config file looks like this:

The exception is raised here:
which makes me wonder if its a problem restricted to username:password authentication, or if it's a more general problem.
